Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. We believe that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Another area of concern is that CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
Long-term Care Quality
Incredibly, we gave this nursing home a B- for our long-term care grade, which isn't too bad of a score. In our long-term care assessment, we focus more on the sheer quantity of care provided by a nursing home, along with a few qualitative statistics. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 95.69893 percent of its patients, which is higher than most nursing homes. The last statistic we looked at was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this place had 1.88 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is not too bad.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. When computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we consider the number of hours nurses are with residents and the level of skill of the nurses. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is slightly below the national average. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are preventable with better nursing care. These metrics hurt this nursing home's nursing grade quite a bit.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed is short-term care, which proved to be a low point for this nursing home. We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D in our short-term care category. In our short-term care grade, we strive to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 30.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
